E&OE Keith Payne VC AM, Florence Payne OAM & Andrew Kendall 1 Robert Horgan BM was awarded the Bravery Medal and his son, Pilot Officer Kenrick Horgan, the Commendation for Brave Conduct. On the afternoon of 14 June 1997 Robert, with assistance of his then young son, Kenrick, rescued a man from a burning vehicle at Gordon, Victoria. Facing a broken fuel line feeding a fire in the engine bay and a vehicle fast filling with toxic smoke, they were able to pull the driver from the vehicle shortly before it was engulfed in flames. Father and son were both touched to be receiving their honours together. Also invested that day was new ABA member, Terrance O’Brien OAM RFD, who was awarded Pilot Officer Kenrick Horgan & Robert Horgan BM a Commendation for Brave Conduct. On the afternoon of 18 January 2009, Terrance provided assistance to three people who were trapped following a single vehicle accident at Moss Vale, New South Wales.

Lucinda Lang Congratulations to all awardees. * * * * * * THE VICTORIA CROSS AND GEORGE CROSS ASSOCIATION In this edition of the ABA Newsletter we commence a series of articles examining various associations around the world established for Bravery and Gallantry award recipients. The first association we look at is the The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association founded and based in London. The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association represents all living holders of the Victoria Cross, the United Kingdom's highest military award for valour in the face of the enemy, and its equivalent, the George Cross, which is awarded to civilians and military personnel who have displayed the greatest heroism or the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger. Upon creation, the founders set out three aims of the Association: 1. To establish a central focus and headquarters in London for Victoria Cross holders from all over the world, and to provide a centre where holders could meet and communicate. 2. To cement the brotherhood of holders of the Victoria Cross throughout the Commonwealth and thereby, through their own unity and strength, make some contribution towards the maintenance of world peace. 3. To give such help and guidance to one another as might be possible from time to time. The first major gathering of Victoria Cross holders was held on the 26 June 1920 when a Garden Party was held at Buckingham Palace by King George V and attended by 324 recipients of the award. The second took place in 1929 when the British Legion arranged a reunion from 9 to 11 November. A dinner was held on the first evening, 9th November, in the Royal Gallery, The House of Lords. It was attended by HRH The Prince of Wales, later to be HM King Edward VIII, and 321 Victoria Cross holders. On the final day, 11th November, the Victoria Cross holders attended a Service at the Cenotaph and, later that evening, the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert 2 Hall. From then on there was a desire to form an Association but it was not until the Centenary of the institution of the Victoria Cross, in 1956, that this was achieved when 299 Victoria Cross holders gathered together for the Centenary celebrations which took place over three days beginning on 25th June 1956. During this gathering the 299 holders formed up in Hyde Park to be reviewed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 26 June 1956. In 1957 the holders of the George Cross were invited to become Associate Members and, in 1962, when the George Cross recipients were welcomed as full members, the Association changed its name to The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association. Her Majesty The Queen graciously consented to be Patron of the Association in 1957, and Sir Winston Churchill became the first President in 1959. After Sir Winston Churchill's death in 1965, Brigadier The Rt. Hon. Sir John Smyth Bt., VC,MC was elected President and continued to hold the office of Chairman as well until 1971 when Rear Admiral B.C.G. Place VC,CB,CVO,DSC was elected to the latter office. Colonel B.S.T. Archer GC,OBE,ERD succeeded Admiral Place as Chairman in 1994 and Mr. Jim Beaton GC CVO JP became Chairman in 2006 and was succeeded in October 2014 by Major Peter Norton GC. On the death of Sir John Smyth in 1983, H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother graciously consented to be President of the Association and was succeeded in February 2003 by HRH The Prince of Wales who kindly agreed to succeed his grandmother after her death the preceding year. Today the Association's membership comprises only 30 living recipients of the awards. There are 10 living recipients of the Victoria Cross and 20 living recipients of the George Cross. Of these 30 recipients, 6 VC holders and 7 GC holders reside outside the UK. Additionally the 2 collective awards of the GC, one made to the Island of Malta GC and the other to Royal Ulster Constabulary GC have a representative present at the Keith Payne VC AM & Florence Payne OAM with reunions and meetings. The Australian VC and GC holders are members of Her Mastery The Queen at a VCGCA Reunion the association. Reception at Buckingham Palace on 28 October 2014 In the next ABA Newsletter we examine the Gallantry Medalists League. * * * * * * 75TH ANNIVERSARY GALLANTRY MEDALS On 24 September 2015, HRH The Duke of Kent presented a set of 50mm medals to recipients of the George Cross and George Medal to mark the 75th anniversary of the introduction of these medals by His Majesty King George VI. The medals were presented to each living holder of these awards who attended a special service at Royal Hospital Chelsea. As a tribute to these medal holders the manufacturers were delighted to have been instructed to produce a smaller version in a strictly limited edition for the general public. Two versions either in metal layered with pure silver or hallmarked sterling silver will be available on a strictly first come basis. Profits from the sale of these sets will be distributed between The Victoria Cross & George Cross Association and The Gallantry Medallists League. Phil McDermott who manufactured the medals is keen that GM League members get the first opportunity to acquire them as it is a limited edition set. These are 36mm in diameter and identical in all other respects to the one presented on the day. Any member of the League who wishes to purchase a set should visit the website and enter GCGMGML75. This code will apply a discount on checkout if ordered before 24 November 2015. The medal sets will be boxed and will start shipping at the end of this month. Please get in touch with Worcestershire Medal Service if you have any queries. The website set up to manage these sales is www.gcgm75.co.uk . 3 POLICE - INTERNAL BRAVERY AWARDS from 1874 -2015 Clive Johnson OAM Welcome to the latest edition of the Australian Bravery Association’s article on medals and awards. One of the most common questions I get is, ‘why do organisations have their own awards?’ The simple answer is ‘they want their own organisational identity,’ and often think the national structure of award has in some way, shape or form ‘failed to recognise their particular organisations service.’ In the late 1800s, a national award was brought out for recognising rescues in mines, but the representatives of the factories complained.

    Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 1 - Attachment A Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 1 - Attachment A Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 2 - Attachment B Nowra RSL Sub-Branch PO Box 369, Nowra NSW 2541 Phone/Fax: 44236335 Welfare: 44227235 Jo Gash Mayor Shoalhaven City Nowra NSW 2540 Dear Jo, Three years ago our Sub Branch came up with an initiative to raise funds to send care packages and support our troops deployed overseas and additionally raise funds for ‘Soldier On’. The initiative involved putting on a game of Rugby involving our local Rugby Squad and playing in specially designed jerseys depicting the ANZAC spirit and the day was called ‘Digger Day’. On completion of the game the jerseys are auctioned off to the public. The successful collaboration between the Nowra RSL sub-branch and the Shoalhaven Rugby club has proved to be a big hit within the tight Shoalhaven community. This event has attracted around 1500-2000 people to each Digger Day event, which equates to around a large step up in number, compared to normal club matches. The concept was a huge success raising in excess of $10,000 for each year. On each occasion we have had the support of my close and personal friend, Keith Payne VC who has attended as guest to all our Digger Days. On each occasion the Navy flew Keith by Naval Helicopter into the ground with the game ball and the Army’s Red Beret Parachute Display team also performs. As we approached the ANZAC Centenary we had plans to escalate the event and put on a Digger Day which would be momentous and spectacular for our small community for 2015.

  • Inquiry Into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1-1 The Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the Tribunal) is established under the provisions in Schedule 1 of the Defence Legislation Amendment Act 2010 [No. 1] (Cwlth), which came into effect on 5 January 2011. Before that date, many of the functions of the Tribunal were undertaken by the Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal (the old tribunal), which operated administratively from July 2008. The Defence Legislation Amendment Act contains the provisions for the establishment of the new Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the new Tribunal, or the Tribunal), as well as specifying its membership, powers and functions. The Tribunal’s functions are set out in s. 110UA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cwlth). The Minister may direct the Tribunal to hold an inquiry into a specified matter concerning Defence honours or awards. The Tribunal must then hold an inquiry and report, with recommendations, to the Minister. 1-2 On 21 February 2011 the Parliamentary Secretary for Defence, Senator The Hon. David Feeney, referred the matter of Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour to the Tribunal. The Terms of Reference for the Inquiry into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour (the Inquiry), as agreed on 29 April 2012, are set out in full at the commencement of the Report of the Inquiry into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour (the Report). 1-3 The Tribunal comprised the following members: • Emeritus Professor Dennis Pearce, AO (Chairman until 20 June 2011) • Mr Alan Rose, AO (Chairman from 26 September 2011) • Professor David Horner, AM (also Presiding Member from 20 June to 25 September 2011) • Vice Admiral Don Chalmers, AO (Retd) • Brigadier Gary Bornholt, AM, CSC (Retd) • Air Commodore Mark Lax, OAM, CSM (Retd).
